The Florida Lottery recently announced that Appolon Jean, of Pompano Beach, claimed the $2 million jackpot from the Jackpot Triple Play.
The drawing was held on July 26th at Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee.
The Broward County man chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,223,575.20.
The South Florida winner purchased his jackpot-winning Jackpot Triple Play Quick Pick ticket from Publix, located at 3700 North Federal Highway in Pompano Beach. The retailer received a bonus commission of $1,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
For $1, JACKPOT TRIPLE PLAY players get a triple chance to win the jackpot, as each ticket comes with three sets of numbers to match with the winning numbers drawn. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 46 for the first set, and the second set will be randomly Quick Picked.
Jackpots start at $250,000 and can roll over to reach $2 million before rolling down to increase the lower-prize levels in each drawing until the jackpot is won. Players win by matching three or more numbers from the same set to the winning numbers drawn. Players can get an extra chance to win by combining all matches on the ticket by adding Combo for $1 more.
